What does it take to be among the "Users browsing this forum"? Do you have to refresh or something periodically? What does it mean when a name is always on the list? Malfunctioning computer? Moderator account? Data scraping? I also wonder about the unfamiliar names who say nothing.... Lur...

Counter-intuitively, this thread seems to get the least amount of attention on weekends. I guess people have places to be, summer sunshine to enjoy, etc. And there's plenty of people I've seen who post from work, and may not spare the time at home. I, on the other hand, have much more opportunity t...

23000+ posts in may be a little late for this, but I've been thinking about this a bit recently and had to post it. We discuss quite a few topics on this needle-pulled-thing, but there is currently very little organisation. Ideally we would have multiple threads, but the forum rules only allow one ...

<snip> Edit does this mean I qualify for a hat? ? no Sir Inquisitor, I do not remember any names. No, not the comfy chair and the chocolate....... Wait...the Inquisitor has chocolate!? I was not told. :( Enforced happiness has been the standard punishment for heresy since the Inquistion was expecte...

On 11th August 1999, there was a total eclipse visible from Europe. My friend Poly and I found a flight which was gong from London to Luxembourg where there was totality, giving time to watch it and then returning a few hours later. As we arrived they announced there were two layers of cloud cover ...

KetchupWall <snip> To whom do I submit my application to join the Outsider Relations Department? I submit these 1 , 2 , as my CV and can provide references 1 on request.

Something is wrong. I figured that's the only way I will ever get another right prediction. It would have ...

As I was ketchuping (ketching up? What's the correct conjugation of that compound verb?) I read the discussion a few newpages ago about language and the Uncanny Valley. I had been thinking that the dialogue in the OTC reminded me a lot of Chance the Gardener in the movie " Being There ". ...

... This is incredible! Awesome job, Sciscitor. I, too, noticed that Opibole and Helper like to quote each other a lot. Butt buddies. I like how I'm nestled comfortably right in the center of: ⋅ BlitzGirl ⋅ StratPlayer ⋅ mscha ⋅ cmyk ⋅ Latent22 ...

Ok folks ... update on the quote tree graph (up to post 22300ish). This time it's the full graph. And with full I mean FULL... all the 835 people who have quoted or have been quoted or both and all the 8757 quotes along with all the names, color coded average posting length, size coded posting coun...

EDIT: Kieryn, if you would be so kind, spoilerfy or edit that quote-wall, please. We're much more civilized at this Time. We have moved on from such childish things. *shrug* And yep, I put the comma in the quotation marks, because that's how we roll here in the U.S. of A. I don't, and I...

1728 is the next candidate for the End of Time, being the next round number. (Not saying I think it will end then; it's just a good number for the endists to predict as the end.) I know 1728 is 1000 in the duodecimal system, but 1729 is the Hardy–Ramanujan number! Surely that is a more likely finis...

Why does all of the interesting stuff have to happen during times that I'm away? The apocalypse will come when Time ends, because I will go beserk and cause an apocalypse. There is an elegant solution to your problem: never ever leave. Simples. But that would mean no interesting stuff will ever hap...

<snip> It was looking up my posts that led me to wonder. I don't think I've ever posted fifteen times in a day. I just don't have that much to say, but there were a few times my name was included in quotes, why I theorized may have inflated the numbers. Don't make the mistake of thinking you have t...

Less than a(n outside) day from frame 1190 of comic 1190 -- will it be significant? Can we contain our anticipation? Methinks not! The most recent frames have been significant enough, what with all the new exposition, and the first appearance of vegetation. I reckon Lord Randall will troll the Nume...

<snip> 1 The OTC is beginning to feel more like a story, with character and plot development, than a single idea comic. 2 And each new revelation (La Petite, dildogunerang, distance, rubbish, tents) makes me re-interpret former dialogue and previous newpix. That's a really good point, it does feel ...
